Clone: Polyclonal
Background: In immunoelectrophoresis and radial immunodiffusion, using various antiserum concentrations against human plasma a single precipitin line is obtained in the beta-1 region and shows a reaction of full identity with the purified immunogen. The antiserum does not react with any other protein component of human serum or plasma. In precipitating techniques as immunoelectrophoresis and single and double radial immunodiffusion (Mancini, Ouchterlony) to identify the presence of complement C3b or to determine its concentration. The presence of non-precipitating antibodies has not been assayed. This does not exclude the use of the antiserum in non-precipitating antibody-binding techniques if proper controls are included. Determinations of individual complement components can be very useful in defining the exact location of a defect.
Source: C3b (C3c+C3d) has a molecular weight of 170,000. The protein is isolated and purified from pooled normal human serum by precipitation techniques, followed by chromatographical methods. Freund’s complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.
Specificity: Precipitin titre not less than 1:16 when tested anti normal Human plasma in agar-block immunodiffusion titRation.
Formulation: Delipidated, heat inactivated, lyophilized, stable whole serum. No preservative added. Total protein and IgG concentrations in the antiserum are comparable to those of normal pooled rabbit serum. No foreign proteins added.
UniProt: P01024
